• I Love My Window Cube

    Not only do I have a great view of a swimming pool and the National Cathedral, but sometimes stuff like this happens (ok, that’s a lie, nothing like this ever happens)! I apologize for the lack of photo quality; it was taken by holding my laptop up to the window, sideways. Sadly, I was only told it was happening just now… Apparently it has…

  • We’re due a real post

    It has been over a week since my last “real” post. Everything since then has been a movie review or something simple like it. Yes, my last real post was about running. Since that is really all that is going on in my life (I’ll be running 35 miles this week), that makes sense… On the running front I ran a mile race last…

What bothered me about this one was the casting; Billy Crudup leads you to believe…

  • Idea of the Day: eBay Watcher

    Rather than have to visit their site every time I want to search for something, why don’t they set up something that notifies me when a certain keyword I have subscribed to is hit/posted? This couldn’t take a developer more than a day or two to put together from start to finish, and it’d save me numerous visits to their site. What gives? If…
